Class 2: Fundamentals of Polyurea

(1 Day Instruction) – This class provides a general overview of the polyurea technology from the standpoint of history, chemistry, general safety, general processing characteristics and application use. This course is not a product specific course, and applies to various polyurea technologies. Course participants include those new to (or thinking about getting into) the polyurea industry, those with some years of experience, students, engineers / architects for specification, facility owners / coating specifier and inspectors on polyurea application areas, equipment suppliers and sales personnel. This course is also designed as a pre-requisite to Class 3: Polyurea Spray Applicator.Price: $200.00

Class 3: Polyurea Spray Applicator
(Pre-Requisite Required)

(2.5 Days Instruction) – This is the general applicator course / class. Included in class are discussions on the general types of polyurea systems, safety measures required for use of the system, application equipment characteristics for polyurea, including proportioning units and spray guns and how to optimize. This course also provides information on various substrate characterization, general surface preparation requirements, use of primers (when required) and option of topcoat requirements. This also includes both general equipment and application troubleshooting, processing troubleshooting, and applied testing. The course is a combination of classroom work, hands on testing and required spray application work. The importance of a Job Log Profile form is also presented.

Course participants include those new to (or thinking about getting into) the polyurea industry, those with experience with polyurea installation work, spray applicators, project leaders, equipment suppliers, etc. Price: $900.00

A Certificate of Completion will be provided to all attendees after completion and participation in the course and passing of the 50 question exam.

Class 4: Surface Preparation for the Polyurea Applicator

(1 Day Instruction) — This class covers in detail the surface preparation requirements for a successful polyurea installation. While most of the class does focus on the two main substrates, concrete and steel, other typical substrates are discussed as well. Information includes those industry standards used as available through SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings, NACE: National Association of Corrosion Engineers, ICRI: International Concrete Repair Institute and ISO for example. This includes classroom, hands-on work and possible demonstrations. This course is designed for all levels of exposure with polyurea application work. (no pre-requisite) Price: $400.00

Hear What Our Students Have to Say

Hi Dudley,

I am still on your “polyurea institute” mailing list—which I just read with great happiness for your long-term efforts.

I just wanted to extend a much-deserved congratulations and salute to you on the South American expansion deal, as reported. Your dedication to the science, industry & coatings craft merit all this success and, more to come, I’m sure.

Dudley–we always considered you as the “go to” guy in any aspect of the world of Polyurea.

You have for many years shared your depth of knowledge–and offered your personal, and often “on-site” response–despite great personal inconvenience of global travel.

We in the field have often identified needs & brought them to your attention from so many global points and functional aspects. You routinely & often respond like no other–and consistently do so with unmatched depth of knowledge, anecdotal experience and grace.

We always were proud to represent you and your technology. And you never once gave us reason to pause, or have reservations about our technological foundation. We always knew you had our back–however needed–even if it meant traveling to sit at the table with us.

Dudley, you are the best in all your grace and humility

Hi Dudley,

This is Jeff Taylor. I wanted to extend another thank you. I really learned a lot from you and look forward to applying the new things I’ve learned; as well as sharing it with my applicators. If you offer other or advanced training, I’d like to take advantage of those, as well. Again, thank you. You certainly lived up to and beyond all I’ve heard. I look forward to building a good and continuous relationship with you, Rudi, and VersaFlex. Have safe travels. Talk to you soon.

“VersaFlex is very knowledgeable on their polyurea systems and shows great confidence as well as
providing excellent training by Dudley Primeaux—Awesome Instructor.”

“Great week! Very informative! Wouldn’t change a thing!”

I have been to many Manufacturing training/certification courses, this course is by far the most valuable I’ve attended. I will be sending my employees!!!!Fencil Urethane Systems-WI

Hi, Dudley,

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed the Polyurea University courses I attended a few weeks ago. I should have written this sooner, but I’ve been working almost constantly since returning to NY.

I’ve taken many training courses in my 25+ years in industry and yours is the best I’ve attended. The clarity of the presentation, quantity of useful information augmented by real-world examples plus hands-on equipment experience were outstanding. If you need to add to your list of course endorsers, please feel free to use my name.

Regards,

The classroom provided a relaxed environment for questions at anytime. Hands on spray time provided real life application. Dudley was a wealth of information. By far, best training I have attended.

Hello Guys,

Well arrived safely back to the Cayman Islands, but hopefully not for long, just trying to wrap things up here so I can be on my travels. You know the old saying “Save The Best Till Last” — you were all outstanding with everything on the training course provided. I have contacted all of the class members by email and they all came back with rave reviews about the training and Dudley with his knowledge and expertise in the field of Polyurea. It was a pleasure to meet you all finally after hearing so much about you guys. Hopefully it wont be too long before we are back in Houston again.

Many Thanks for everything.

Best Regards,

David

Dudley,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for coming out to Vegas to explain the basics of polyurea to all of the guys here at WFX.

It is clear that you know what you’re talking about & we felt honored that VersaFlex would send such a qualified individual such as yourself to explain it to us.

I feel much more comfortable talking about the product & I won’t be as hesitant to get my hands dirty & help apply the VersaFlex.

It also gives me great comfort to know that you will be available to answer any questions that pertain to coatings.

Sometime in the near future, I hope to fly out to Houston with Duston to level up on our VersaFlex education some more.
